Supposed family firm, all work done by different contractors, no overall plan of work. Looked excellent on completion but within a few weeks, total electric failure. On Investigation:-
1) office wall screwed into electric wires. 2) paintwork on walls coming off on clothes when leant against. After a few months:-
3) wet-room could not be used, floor uneven. 4) kitchen floor lifting and main creche area. 5) internal and external doors jamming and latches failing. 6) door paintwork coming away. 7) eventually serious leak on mains water connection, result of overtightened nut on installation.
Response from Absolute Carpentry & Kitchens
Thank you for your review, I believe we need to put some context into this as it is now some 2 years after the work was completed and you were overjoyed when we completed the work initially. We did not just use contractors, we used specialist contractors to undertake specific trades to make sure the work was completed by qualified trades. The cow shed is a typical pre-war building with concrete walls, a concrete floor, and an asbestos roof. All the points indicated are down to the property being an agricultural building and trying to make it suit your needs as best as possible given the state of the building and your constant reminder to keep costs down! When we took on the job, we were given a list of work you wanted undertaken, and we completed all the items. You did not want any damp work undertaken or heating due to cost and this has resulted in all the problems indicated and we have communicated explaining this with yourselves. Except for the screw hitting a cable when plaster boarding which is a work accident and was rectified by us immediately 2 years ago when it was identified.
